chicken crust stuff, but it doesn't ever crisp up like you'd want for a pizza.
There are many almond flour crusts out there that will work.
Should I be fasting on Keto?
In week 2 and my diet is pretty much egg, cheese, cold cuts, ground meats, asparagus, green beans, shrimp. I was told that to get around the "keto flu" I should eat more salts and was recommended pork rinds as a good snack.
Only dairy outside of cheese is a splash of heavy cream in my coffee.
No fasting yet, though with my appetite being suppressed fairly well so far I can see myself doing it.

I asked the thread earlier but didn't get a response, but can you point out the problem with an example of my average menu: eggs with cheese and an avocado for breakfast; nuts and chicken and zucchini in a big spinach salad for lunch; and salmon fillet with a heap of broccoli for dinner, followed by a dessert of greek yogurt mixed with blueberries? Your thesis is that it is dangerous for me to eat like that until the proper studies are conducted?
No the argument is forcing ketosis on your body could have potential health risks which aren't really all that well known or properly researched because using keto for weight loss is relatively new.
This entire debate started because I said there are no long term studies about the effects a keto diet has on someone. I was then linked articles about reductions in epileptic attacks

Why wouldn't you call that menu keto? I'm guessing it's between 20 - 50 net carbs.I think it's when you call it keto that it becomes a problem.
If anything, the believers of the status-quo seem to be threatened by the idea that grains don't have to be a major food group.
You can even omit the egg if you want a less moist and omletty crust.It's not really "simulating" crust -- it IS crust..
But fathead pizza is great. Almond flour, cream cheese, mozzerella cheese, and egg.

Ok, but the menu that I listed above forces your body into ketosis. Can you explain what my body is missing with that array of foods?
Stop right there, but wasn't the point of those links (I didn't click them) that people had been on the diet for a long time without issue?
One other question if you don't mind asking and you know whats up with the urine tests: I test at random times in the day. Sometimes I come back with 15mmol/l to 40mmol/l. Does it matter when I do the test, if I should get a sample from the middle, etc?
you may not even notice when you slip in and out of ketosis anymore.
Honestly so far the worst part about keto is the social aspect. I can only expect my friends to choose restaurants around my restrictions so much before I'm just the guy eating a small side salad.
But I absolutely have to cut out my drinking so being relegated to drinks straight up or with soda helps in that regard.

I'd argue that refined carbohydrates is more of a "new" diet thing that humans haven't ever had. During the fat reduction craze starting in the 70s, sugars are what were used to replace fat in foods that made things palatable.
I do concede though that it isn't for everybody and shouldn't be forced. Me however, my body has issues with carbohydrates in terms of constantly craving them. Real keto isn't 0 carbs. You have to get them somewhere, and some people 20 carbs a day, some do 50. I'm at about 30 a day right now. Additionally, supplementing potassium and magnesium is key.
You can find something to eat almost anywhere. The worst place for me is cheap mexican food. I have a hard time finding something good.Honestly so far the worst part about keto is the social aspect.

Oh I completely agree. The low-fat diet craze of the 70's has ruined our food. It's the reason I have practically cut out processed foods from my diet and cook like 95% of my meals from scratch, as well as ditched soda/juices and other shit.
And for all intents and purposes I'm basically have been living a low-carb diet for the last year. It's not enough to go into ketosis, but it's a far cry from your average American's intake.
Yeah, it's also dumb to just load up on crappy fats constantly, and grease. Most of my carbs come from nuts at this point for me, basically. Salad, broccoli, and cauliflower too, but that's mostly just fiber.
I also respect cooking all your food from scratch.
Is there an easier way to start keto than just diving into the deep end? Is it workable to have 1-2 carb cheat days a week?
I was lazy at first and just avoided foods with obscene amounts of carbs. I'd stick to things with zero or 1-2g per serving and I mostly just ate as much as I wanted. Transitioned to diet soda.Is there an easier way to start keto than just diving into the deep end? Is it workable to have 1-2 carb cheat days a week?

You're an idiot if you think a diet high in saturated & animal fat is healthy and fruit is not. Keto is stupid and dangerous. You can be shredded and destroying your heart. If you want it, go get it big dog.
I'll stick to a balanced diet, and just lower my carbohydrate consumption after lunch. I enjoy looking good, but I'm not going to shave 10 years off of my life to do so. Cholesterol is the #1 risk factor for atherosclerosis.
It is not necessarily healthy for your body to be in a prolonged state of ketosis. On top of that, if you are not being active enough to regularly deplete your glycogen stores, you are a whole other level of unhealthy from being too sedentary.Carbs are quite literally the only unnecessary macro nutrient. Your body requires zero of it. They can be beneficial if you're extremely physically active or need to put on some extra weight to make it through a long period of low food availability.
